There is a nifty program called cooking companion by nutridata systems that has
a mundane database of recipes, but the infinite capacity to enter your own
recipes, by point and click then type in the directions. It has an incredibly
conplete database of ingredients and you can aadd your own as well. When you
have the recipes you want, you drag the name of the recipe over to the
shopping list, it lists all the ingredients and automatically totals up the
amounts of each ingredient. You can resize the recipes to serve up to 999
people. If you are feeling really perverse, you can makean entry for
bukenade for250, nget quite an ingredient list complete with the nutritional
breakdown for the total calories for the whole batch and the calories for 1
serving! I find it way more versitile than meal master which seems to have
quite a large following but a more cumbersomeinterface.
